AppSec Serialized by Invicti

Knowing what sites, apps, and APIs you’re exposing to the Internet is crucial for determining your realistic risk level and making accurate security decisions.

In this episode, Frank Catucci and Dan Murphy are joined by special guest Bogdan Calin, Principal Security Researcher at Invicti, to talk about ways of determining an organization’s web attack surface and the resulting risk level. In particular, they discuss the pro and cons...

APIs are the secret door through which so many application attacks are executed in recent years. Compared to graphical user interfaces, they are far easier to build and deploy but far harder to test and secure, making API security a top concern.

In this episode, Frank Catucci and Dan Murphy dive into the world of API security, discussing high-profile breaches and looking at ways to discover and test the API part of your web applica...

Software supply-chain security is one aspect of cybersecurity that affects every sizable application out there and also every organization that uses web apps and APIs. Application frameworks and libraries make up much of the running code base of modern software—and it only takes one vulnerable or compromised component to create a critical security gap.

In this episode, Frank Catucci and Dan Murphy go into supply-chain security and ...

The role of Chief Information Security Officer, or CISO, is crucial for any sizable organization yet often misunderstood as purely a compliance paperwork post. In reality, CISOs have to balance multiple aspects of information security to minimize risk, ensure timely incident response, maintain compliance, and more—all with finite resources and competing priorities.

In this episode, Frank Catucci and Dan Murphy talk to a real-life C...

Application security engineers connect security to engineering in more ways than one. Without their efforts, skills, and tools, even the best-laid application security policies and programs would remain mere CISO wishlists. 

In this episode, Invicti’s Frank Catucci and Dan Murphy talk to application security engineer Paul Good to learn what a day in the life of an AppSec guy looks like when you need to balance internal and external...

At the heart of any DAST product is a scan engine that needs to be fast and accurate while keeping up with how the latest applications and APIs are being built and attacked. As AI-assisted development increases both the volume of code and its opacity, having an engine that can automatically and reliably test for security flaws without holding up releases is crucial for any serious DAST solution—and for its users.
